Which One Will You Skate Away On?

If you're having a bad day, this site will make you feel better. There's nothing like reading about the misfortune of others. Schadenfreude, you say? Man, those Germans have a word for everything. (c. Homer Simpson.)

If you're looking for the funny, look no further than Teknikal Diffikulties. Spelling aside, this is simply exquisite. Cayenne Chris Conroy manages to put together weekly old-time radio style comedy shows by himself. He writes, performs and produces the whole thing. His is a dry wit, and nerdy as hell, but it's funny. Go back and check out "The Account," a serial show about a journey through what he calls "The Waking World," a world where the familiar is mixed in with the fantastic. I'm still slogging through the extensive archives, and loving every minute of it. Hell, even the guy's updates are entertaining.

Michigan mayor demands ticket. The guy got a warning for 45 in a 40 MPH zone. He demanded a ticket to avoid favoritism. That's pretty cool. If I were him, I'd take it to court just for the irony.

Finally, there's "Pride and Prejudice and Zombies." I was going to just try and ignore this, but someone just wouldn't let me. Seriously, I know nothing about literature, so I can't even fake my way through a joke here. Zombies are bad. That is all.

For a guy who hates the mainstream media and trial lawyers, you seem to take the STrib and a plaintiff's attorney on their word when it comes to cops ... even when they don't actually give any evidence for corruption.

I hope you never have to shoot someone with that piece you're so proud of.

But it doesn't have anything to do with an unarmed kid getting mowed down. And all of the evidence that has been made public, as well as the subsequent actions of the PD don't leave much room for any other explaination.

And why has the confused cop that can't tell the difference between a relatively rare (and crappy) Russian auto and a fairly common (and much finer) FN suddenly lawyered up and now refuses to give an affidavit to the city under oath?

Sorry.

This stinks worse than a DFL feminist convention, stool. And I won't insult you by suggesting that you don't know it.

I'm not defending a specific case, but the idea that any time someone is shot in the back the cop is a murderer, which is what you implied.

I'm waiting for someone to make a decision on the case you're talking about. I quit reading about it when it was suggested that cops can just take guns out of evidence and carry them around until they decide to murder people.

I'm hoping for an external investigation. I certainly don't accept arguments from people looking for lots of money from a city that loves to give it out.
